Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,683 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 636 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
While a landing score of 77.2% may not be ideal, it's important to remember that every landing provides an opportunity for growth and improvement. In the case of this specific landing, there are clear areas that can be addressed to enhance future performance.
Firstly, the Approach Phase highlighted issues with the descent path and speed control. By focusing on maintaining a steady descent path within the glideslope limit and ensuring speed is consistently at target, pilots can improve their approach phase and set themselves up for a more successful landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, attention should be paid to threshold height and the landing flare. By working on reducing threshold height and executing a smoother landing flare, pilots can aim for a safer and more controlled touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is important to address the high touchdown rate and ensure that the touchdown point is well within the designated zone. Additionally, being mindful of the runway alignment and distance from the centreline can help improve overall touchdown accuracy.
Overall, this landing serves as a learning opportunity to fine-tune skills and focus on key areas of improvement. By acknowledging the areas that need work and making adjustments accordingly, pilots can strive for better performance in future flights. Keep practicing and remain diligent in honing your skills to achieve smoother and more accurate landings.
